The Bubble Pressure Method Membrane Pore Size Analyzer is designed for precise measurement and characterization of pore structures in a wide range of materials. It provides accurate determination of pore size distribution, gas and liquid permeability, and integrity assessment. The system is suitable for research, quality control, and performance evaluation in industries including filtration, battery manufacturing, textiles, nonwovens, paper, ceramics, sintered metals, construction materials, and fuel cell development.
This analyzer is used to test the pore throat size of filter membranes, fibrous membranes, filter cartridges, battery separators, fabrics, nonwovens, paper, ceramics, sintered metals, rocks, and concrete. It is also suitable for evaluating lateral gas diffusion performance of compressed fuel cell carbon paper and assessing liquid and gas transport properties in porous materials. The system is widely used in R&D, production quality control, and laboratory testing where precise pore characterization is critical.
